Psalms 149

1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
